My philosophy is such that I am not going to vote against the oppressed. I have been oppressed, and so I am always going to have a... vote for the oppressed, regardless of whether that oppressed is black or white or yellow or the people of the Middle East, or what. I have that feeling.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I find it profoundly symbolic that I am appearing before a committee of fifteen men who will report to a legislative body of one h...undred men because of a decision handed down by a court comprised of nine men--on an issue that affects millions of women.... I have the feeling that if men could get pregnant, we wouldn't be struggling for this legislation. If men could get pregnant, maternity benefits would be as sacrosanct as the G.I. Bill.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Belief is with them mechanical, voluntary: they believe what they are paid for--they swear to that which turns to account. Do you ...suppose, that after years spent in this manner, they have any feeling left answering to the difference between truth and falsehood?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I am a Christian according to my conscience in belief, ... in purpose and wish;Mnot of course by the orthodox standard. But I am c...ontent, and have a feeling of trust and safety.The Machiavellian mind and the merchant mind are at one in their simple faith in the power of segmental division to rule all--in the dichotomy of power and morals and of money and morals.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

In thought and sympathy we were one, and in the division of labor we exactly complemented each other. In writing we did better wor...k than either could do alone. While she is slow and analytical in composition, I am rapid and synthetic. I am the better writer, she the better critic. She supplied the facts and statistics, I the philosophy and rhetoric, and, together, we have made arguments that have stood unshaken through the storms of long years.... So closely interwoven have been our lives, our purposes and experiences that, separated, we have a feeling of incompleteness--united, such strength of self-assertion that no ordinary obstacles, difficulties, or dangers ever appear to us insurmountable.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Well, when you're up there and you're all alone, see, it's just you and your ship and the sky. And you don't want anybody up there... with you, you don't want anybody to spoil it. Everything's kind of still, and you have a feeling that you're halfway to heaven. You don't even seem to hear the sound of your own motor, just a kind of a buzz, like the sky was calling you. Like the sky was singin' you a song.... Yeah. And somehow it's never eight o'clock up there, it's always now. And the earth is so far below you that it just doesn't matter anymore, the sky is the thing that's important. The sky is your pal. You feel like nudging it and saying, "Hiya sky, how are you today? And how was the old moon the last time you saw him?" The wind drift comes straight off the morning star and beautiful white clouds drift towards you. And they're like old friends. Friends you never want to say goodbye to. And you see a patch of clear air in between 'em and you duck in and out, like a porpoise rollin' in the ocean. And then you say to yourself, "Boy, oh boy, this is the only time a man is really ever alive. It's the only time he's really ever free." The old sky smiles back at you and says, "Boy, you're right. You're dead right."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Tiffany's Salesman: Do they still really have prizes in Crackerjack boxes?Paul: Oh, yes....Tiffany's Salesman: That's nice to know. Gives one a feeling of solidarity, almost of continuity into the past, that sort of thing.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The funny part of it all is that relatively few people seem to go crazy, relatively few even a little crazy or even a little weird..., relatively few, and those few because they have nothing to do that is to say they have nothing to do or they do not do anything that has anything to do with the war only with food and cold and little things like that.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
